EDF 6223 COMPLETE EXAMINATION TEST
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
●● model
Answer: an antecedent stimulus with topographical similarity to the
behavior the analyst wants to be imitated
●● planned models
Answer: prearranged demonstrations of behavior that show the learner
exactly what to do, be it acquiring new skills or refining the topography
of certain elements of existing skills
-can be live or filmed
●● unplanned models
Answer: occasion imitation in everyday social environments
●● formal similarity
Answer: occurs when the model's and the imitator's behavior physically
resemble each other and are in the same mode
●● T/F: delayed behaviors replicating the topography of a model are
imitative
,Answer: false, a close temporal relationships between the model's
performance and the learner's behavior is an important feature of
imitation
●● what is the most important property defining imitation?
Answer: the controlling relation between a model's demonstration and a
learner's performance of topographically similar behavior
●● when is a controlling relation between the model's behavior and the
imitator's behavior inferred?
Answer: when a model evokes a similar behavior without a prior history
of reinforcement
●● T/F: an imitative behavior is a new behavior that follows a novel
antecedent event
Answer: true
●● imitation training
Answer: a systematic, research-based set of steps for teaching a non-
imitative learner to imitate models of noel behavior
●● imitation training protocol (1): assess, and teach if necessary,
prerequisite skills for imitation training
, Answer: attending to the model is a prerequisite skill for imitation
training. assess the skills for a minimum of 3 sessions and begin training
if assessment data shows adequate attending skills
●● imitation training protocol (2):
Answer: practitioners may need to select and use about 25 behaviors as
models during imitation training. including gross motor and fine motor
movements as models provides learners with opportunities to develop
more refined differentiation with their imitative skills. initial training
usually includes models of the movement of body parts and the
manipulation of physical objects
●● imitation training protocol (3): pretest
Answer: the learner's response to the selected models should be
pretested:
1. prepare the learner's attending behaviors for the pretest
2. if using an object mode, place 1 in front of the learner and 1 in front
of yourself
3. say the learner's name to start, and when the learner makes eye
contact, say, "do this"
4. present the model
5. immediately praise each response that has formal similarity to the
model, and deliver reinforcement ASAP
6. record the learner's response as correct, incorrect, or as an
approximation of the model
